Simple comment,put parnate,and maoi aside,what med PERIOD are people usualy able to stay on for 10 years.Im sure there out there,but if one used this board as a factor,you would HAVE to come to the conclusion that all of these meds will offer short term relief,or loose effectivness over time.I hate to bite my tongue as im SURE there are people who have been on a med/meds for a very long time,but honestly in general every med available according to most postings here will offer most reliaf at start and at the least diminish significantly.Im on parnate 5 years now,and i did a year off,does it work like it did the first year? No way.....was the year off it better,well it was the only time in my life i had a car accident,i had a miserable time then,so NO WAY,being on it now years later and less effective is still a benifit to my daily life.Hope that makes sense.
Also everyone is different,try to start it with the utmost enthusiaism,and excitiment,self thought can be a factor as well,i know some meds,even drugs dont work when your so anxious on its effect it simply never seems to come on.
You choose it,now let it do its job,relax and try to live.
Best wishes.
P.S The only drug i have seen over and over that offered relief of up to 20 yrs was the OLD NARDIL,appearently for many people this was pure gold,and also why so many people are EXTREMLY OUTRAGED at the formulation changed,to them,whether people debate it or not,they BELIEVE there life was pulled away from them for what im sure was mere pennies in profit.
